(Nice work by the way, this plugin works great for me. Thanks!)

I set my sublime up to run pep8. Every time I run, it makes a new buffer, and I end up having to close them all. Boo.

When I use Find-in-Files in Sublime, it has a go-to buffer it appends the latest search into.

That seems like a nicer solution. Maybe just "target: 'append_output_buffer'" or something?

Great idea. Given that target can refer to various places I wonder if it might just be a case of having an append flag which indicates that we reuse whatever it is that target is referring to?
